- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Cook the fettuccine: Boil fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- Sauté the chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Make the sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
- Season: Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
- Combine: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing it gently to coat the pasta well with the creamy sauce.
- Serve: Plate the chicken Alfredo hot, garnished with chopped parsley for a pop of color.
Notes
Don’t overcook the pasta; use fresh garlic for the best flavor; quality cheese matters.
